About

Gulf Steel Works is a steel fabrication company that undertakes projects for leading companies, such as Saudi Aramco, Sabic and Maaden in addition to international EPC contractors. Since joining the company in February 2015, general counsel Eyad Jaber has introduced fundamental improvements to the operations of the legal department. Apart from, instituting new guidelines in the administration of labour issues, in order to mitigate labour disputes within the guidelines of Saudi labour law, Jaber has also worked proactively with the contract management and project management departments to keep a record on the progress of all existing records and to enable a response to all contractual correspondence without delays. ‘These improvements have helped the company to maintain current information on all projects and report the situation in a timely manner to the company’s senior management,’ Jaber says. The clear gains in efficiency resulting from Jaber’s contribution have been particularly useful to Gulf Steel Works, as the company has to deal with ever increasing competition and political situation in the Middle East. Prior to joining Gulf Steel Works, Jaber worked for highly respected regional law firms.
